Are you as ready to welcome Spring as we are? Changing out the winter woolens is as refreshing as feeling the sunshine again. Spring can still have chilly moments and shrugs are perfect accessories for this time of transition.

Sunflower Shrug by Carla Willingham

Do you have a shrug in your wardrobe yet? Cozy yet versatile as it can be dressed up or dressed down, a shrug is perfect over a shirt, tank, or dress. It has the comfort of a shawl but it stays on without a pin and keeps your arms warm also. It’s also a great gift because the sizing is very forgiving.

Here we have shared a few of our favorite shrugs in Red Barn Yarns. Don’t forget, Red Barn Yarn participates in Ravelry’s In-Store Pattern Sales program! If your local yarn shop has opted-in to this feature, you can buy it through them and the pattern will be added directly to your Ravelry library!

Shrugs are great portable projects that take less time than a sweater, or even a vest! We took notice of these free patterns on Ravelry and think they would look great in one of your favorite Red Barn Yarn yarns. We wouldn’t shrug off a chance to see your shrug projects! Share your work with us and other Red Barn Yarn fans in our Ravelry group or on our Facebook page!
